Gaia Ashram Internship

About the event

The Gaia Ashram Internship is a one month Summer Internship program on Ecovillage Design, Permaculture and Deep Ecology. The internship will be a holistic participatory learning experience & process.

Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles.

To get an idea of the internship here is a video compilation of three internships:

Theoretical learning (Head)

The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below.

For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context. The hands-on work will focus on Gardening work i.e. developing the vegetable gardens, planting seeds & seedlings, transplanting, propagation of plants, making composts, growing and maintaining a Food Forest, planting green manures, planting lots of trees, planting seasonal crops.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.

ENCUENTRO Bioregional de ECOALDEAS

Volvemos a celebrar el Encuentro Bioregional de Ecoaldeas y Comunidades, en la zona Centro. Unos días en los que nos juntamos los miembros de la red y nos reencontramos para ofrecer talleres e inspiración a los cientos de personas que se acercan. Compartir, contarnos como nos va. Aprender las unas de las otras. El gusto de vernos y celebrar que seguimos aquí. De nuevo nos encontraremos en la Ecoaldea de Valdepiélagos, organizado por la Ecoaldea y Taller Karuna. Cada Encuentro ha sido una experiencia distinta. Cada lugar una aventura, para quien lo organiza, para quienes acudimos. Talleres de todo tipo, contactos, canciones, exposiciones, risas, abrazos, paseos, reuniones, niñas y niños, juegos, baños, calor, tormentas… el gusto de conocernos, irnos queriendo, el cariño haciendo red. Las cuatro Dimensiones necesarias para construir una ecoaldea o proyecto comunitario: Dimensión Social y comunitaria: En ella abordaremos los criterios sobre los que construir comunidades sanas y equilibradas. Aspectos como los liderazgos, las tomas de decisiones, el activismo social, la comunicación no violenta, la gestión emocional y del poder… Dimensión Ecológica: Agricultura biológica, la Permacultura, la bioconstrucción, la huella ecológica, la huella hídrica, la autogestión energética, el agua… Dimensión Económica: Encaminándonos siempre hacia la autogestión de nuestras economías, trataremos de enunciar y compartir muchas de las prácticas y acciones que podemos establecer para depender menos del capital y defender los derechos de la Tierra , con herramientas y experiencias prácticas… Dimensión Espiritual: Una comunidad es algo más que una suma de individuos. Abordaremos esa dimensión invisible -pero no por ello inexistente– que ha de conformar ese “espíritu” presente en cada comunidad o proyecto comunitario… Iremos añadiendo el programa con los TALLERES que se hagan. Por ahora están programados: Por ahora están programados estos talleres y
